Together Time Tips
Number games are fun! Here are some activities you and your child can enjoy anytime – anywhere!
 
THE COUNTING BOOK
Here’s what you will need:

• Glue
• Scissors 
• Construction paper
• A stapler 
• Crayons or magic markers

Help your child draw a variety of numbers, each on a separate page. Bind the pages together like a book with a stapler. Now, encourage your child to draw pictures of an object (dots, flowers, hearts, etc.) equal to the numeral written on the page. Now you can decorate the cover of your new book. Happy counting! COUNTING AND MATCHING
Here’s what you will need:

• 10 small containers
• Paper
• Scissors
• Crayons, magic markers
• Dried lentils

Mark each container with a number. Now, have your child count lentils and put the right quantity in each container. Then, switch places. Now it is your child’s turn to decide which container you should fill with the correct number of lentils. Enjoy!

CARD FUN
Here’s what you will need:

• Construction paper
• Scissors
• Crayons, magic markers
• Glue

Make a set of 5 cards. On each card draw a number (1 – 10). Now, give your child 5 empty cards. Have your youngster draw dots on each card, according to the numeral written on the card. Now, turn all the cards facedown and enjoy playing a memory game. Have fun!

Rewards
Your child deserves a reward for his/her efforts. Each time your child completes 3 screens a reward awaits – a star. As your child progresses and completes more screens, the number of stars grows and grows. Your child can accumulate up to 12 stars. A screen is considered “completed” after your child matches all the objects in the screen. Please note: The stars will continue to accumulate even if you decide to change the difficulty level for your child.

Help
Select a crate and pay attention to the number or amount (depending on the level) appearing inside the crate. Search for the matching crate with the same numeral or amount and press select to match. Discuss other amounts in different crates.
